I'm getting ready to order some springs arched 2" over from Espo. Should I get new U-bolts to go with the new springs, bushings, etc.? If they are not in bad shape, would it still be a good idea to get some new ones with the springs because of the original ones wearing in for the current saggy springs? If I should order some more, can anyone tell me what size they are from the factory or if there is any certain way to measure them other than throw a tape on em'?

The U-bolt width is <scratches head> 4 7/8" wide if I remember. I replaced them a long time ago. They're in the HELP! section at Auto Zone.

Thanks snakeyes, I hope to be back in buisness soon. BTW, have you had to put a hull under your J truck, or are the waters subsiding?
